• Manage financing timelines, due diligence requirements, and closing deliverables.
• Monitor portfolio maturities and recommend refinancing, extension, and permanent financing strategies.
• Prepare investment materials and support presentations to lenders and equity partners.
• Partner with development, construction, asset management, and accounting to align financing with project needs.

What We’re Looking For

• At least three years of experience in commercial real estate finance, capital markets, debt placement, or lending.
• Experience underwriting, structuring, or executing real estate financing transactions, preferably involving multifamily properties or development.
• Strong understanding of capital stacks and debt metrics, including LTV, LTC, DSCR, and debt yield.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills.
• Ability to translate analysis into clear recommendations for senior leadership.
• Strong communication, organization, and transaction management skills.
• A hands-on approach and comfort independently handling both analytical work and lender relationships.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, real estate, or a related field.

Relevant backgrounds include real estate owners and developers, debt and equity advisory teams, mortgage banking, and commercial real estate lending.

Preferred Experience

• Multifamily construction financing.
• Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or HUD financing.
• Equity presentations and capital partner engagement.
• Interest-rate caps, hedging, and loan document review.
• Accounting or credit experience supporting real estate transactions.

Why Join

• Own financing transactions across an active multifamily platform.
